After heading to the U.K. to skate in the Chaz Sands Invitational, the REMZ team headed to Germany to session with the Grindhouse team. Photographer Holger Thalmann was on-hand to capture the action, so he sent us these pics and a write up about the day. Check it out!

On the first of May 2008, around 2 p.m. in Ulm, a gray non-descript van pulls into a parking lot beside a skatepark. The doors of the van open and some of the best skaters in the world step out.

Nick Wood, Chris Haffey, Franky Morales and Kato (owner of Remz) just arrived from the cold UK to the seemingly promising skies of Germany to meet up with the Grindhouse Team. […]

Meet the new ultimate skating weapon: the redesigned Remz 08two team skate, by Remz.

Remz-family’s closed work with direct inputs from Chris Haffey himself enables the company to take the well established team-skate design to a new level: rethought leather cuts and assembling patterns give the new 08two an unprecedented feel while updated materials and foams provide a new tight and non-stretchy fit for a perfect control.

Following its unique freedom-of-feet concept the 08two is indeed loaded with Remz’ well-thought-through features and technical details that have built the brand’s reputation such as the unique boot construction and the customizable ankle support for an ultimate combination of flex and support.

Remz are designed for experienced skaters but suit beginners alike, lace these on your feet and get hooked!
